In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Volendam were eliminated from the national cup, but in the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025 they will be looking to build a comfortable lead in the direct access zone after 8 wins and 3 draws in the last 11 matches. The team stands out for being the second best home side in the league (77% success rate with 21 points from 9 games), and their greatest achievement is being the best attacking team in the league (42 goals scored in total and an average of 2.2 goals scored per game), although the average is better when they play specifically in their home stadium (22 goals scored in total and an average of 2.4 goals scored per game). Volendam also have the third-best defense among the home sides (8 goals conceded in total and an average of 0.8 goals conceded per home game). The team is the third highest scorer in the competition (16.2 shots), but manages to have the most shots on goal (6.2 shots per game). Coach Rick Kruys has no known absentees and will be able to repeat last week's starting line-up, based on a 4-3-3 tactical formation, with the highlight being striker and captain Henk Veerman, the league's record goalscorer (11 goals and 7 assists in 19 appearances) and the second top scorer and second leader in assists. Other key players are goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen, the lowest scorer in the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025 (0.8 goals conceded per appearance, with 9 goals conceded in 11 appearances); left-back Yannick Leliendal, the second highest tackler in the league (3.5 tackles per game played); Moroccan right winger Bilal Ould-Chikh, the league's leader in assists (8 passes for goals in 19 appearances); also striker Robert Mühren, second top scorer and the third player with the most shots on goal in the competition (11 goals scored and an average of 1.5 shots on goal in his 19 appearances)..

Confirmed Lineup: Kayne van Oevelen, Mawouna Amevor, Yannick Leliendal, Xavier Mbuyamba, Deron Payne, Alex Plat, Milan de Haan, Nordin Bukala, Bilal Ould-Chikh, Henk Veerman, Robert Muhren.

Analysis De Graafschap

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 32 points won, after 9 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Jong Ajax, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against SC Cambuur, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 10 points in away matches and 22 at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 14 conceded at home, against 13 goals scored and 16 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the KNVB Beker, they got a home win against Sparta Nijkerk by (4‑0). In the last 9 away league matches De Graafschap has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Motivated by their qualification for the national cup, De Graafschap are looking to bounce back in the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025, so a win would put them in 4th place and very close to the direct access zone for the Eredivisie. The team's strong point is its attack, which is the second best in the league (40 goals in all and an average of 2.1 goals scored per matchday). De Graafschap are the team with the second most shots on goal (average of 6.2 shots per match). Defensively they have the third most tackles (19.2 tackles per match). Coach Jan Vreman will have to make changes to his previous starting line-up, based on a 4-2-3-1 tactical formation, as midfielder Philip Brittijn picked up an injury in the last league game and has already been ruled out for the cup tie. Youssef El Jebli should be his replacement again. Other absentees include midfielder Stan Wevers, injured since matchday 3 on 23-08-2024, and defender Joran Hardeman, injured since matchday 18 on 09-12-2024. Moroccan left winger Ibrahim El Kadiri is the highlight of the squad (5 goals and 3 assists in 19 appearances).

Confirmed Lineup: Joshua Smits, Jeffrey Fortes, Levi Schoppema, Maas Willemsen, Rio Hillen, Anass Najah, Donny Warmerdam, Jesse van de Haar, Ibrahim El Kadiri, Wanya Marcal-Madivadua, Ralf Seuntjens.
